Title: Is this the ABBA Box?

As there are several ABBA boxes out there, I'm wondering if this is Tom's.

I don't think that's the one. The official ABBA Box is the one where all od the CDs are made to look like vinyl LPs.

No, that's the one.

Jeez, Tom certainly wasn't kidding about how valuable that thing is.

I've enjoyed the amusement (my own little joke, I guess) from thinking that the fabled ABBA box is actually a special, separate machine that can be hooked up to, say, WFMU's audio equipment and broadcast. In a word, a separate "device."  How would this device be designed?  Well, I imagine that it's plastic and maybe yellow and orange, possibly magenta, a color combination that is bright and cheery and that I associate with the 70s.  Those colors don't really reflect the two ABBA album covers I owned (sent to me by distant relatives in Sweden!), but they seem right for the ABBA device.
